In the fall of 2016 we covered our first Tenda branded wireless router, their AC9, and we were very impressed. Tenda has been in business since 1999, and since then they have been expanding their lineup of easy to install and affordable networking gear for home and office use. In this review, we will be covering the AC6, which is a compact AC1200 rated wireless router that has four large antennas which help it to deliver both 867Mbps at 5GHz and 300Mbps at 2.4 GHz connections to what will hopefully be a large range.

Before taking a closer look at the sample provided for review, let's check out some features and specifications on the device, as taken from the official product page on the Tenda website...

The lists above include confirmation of plenty of features you need, and plenty other that you would like, in a wireless router. The one disappointment to me is that the wired ports are not Gigabit. I still use wired connections wherever possible, and with plenty of media to share from storage on the local network and an Internet connection rated for over 100Mbps, relying on this router would put a squeeze on the bandwidth on the LAN and WAN.
